The wealth of images in this book are the result of painstaking research by the authors, who searched through the photographic archives of contemporary professional photographers as well as members of the public. The photographs they uncovered were then carefully restored and returned to their original splendour, showing the daring feats of the riders and the passionate fervour which pervaded those amazing competitions. The images they have chosen form a complete historical reconstruction of all the championships. The texts are based on information taken from both specialist magazines of the time and the memories of people still alive today (including the authors), who witnessed those events first hand as organizers or simply enthusiasts.
